Currently the Southernmost House is operating as an upscale B&B with tours as you can see. I am not sure what the Museum contains but since the house is circa 1897 with the Queen Ann Victorian style construction it should be interesting.

Casa Cayo Hueso The Southernmost House in the Continental United States
Casa Cayo Hueso means Key West House, but you have to get there in a round about way. Cayo Hueso is the original Spanish name for the island of Key West. Spanish-speaking people still refer to Key West as Cayo Hueso. Cayo Hueso means "bone key". It seems that early natives used the island as a communal graveyard thus the island of Key West was littered with the bones of native inhabitants when the early Spanish explorers visited the island. Now lets put together what we know Casa means "house or home" in Spanish and Cayo Hueso is the Spanish name for Key West. So put everything together and it means Key West House when translated into English. The rest of this sign out front of the Southernmost House is self explanatory.
